So far as can be seen at present it appears almost certain there will be no race for the Perpetual Challenge cup this year. No club is likely to incur the.great expense of building a boat in the hope of beating the sloop Corin- | thian, the holder of the cup. Of course is not necessary that the challenge should be in the 30-foot class, though | all the contests hitherto held for the | trophy have been between 30-footers, | The San Francisco Yacht Club, having | wen and lost the trophy in that class, | is not likely to go ‘out of it, but an- other club is mot sideration.

The membership roll includes members, of* whom .244 are active, > on the absent list and 4 honorary. Duripg the past twelve months twenty members resigned, four were. expelled, four dropped for various reasons, three died and two were on the absent list. These were more than compensated for by the acquisition of forty-twq new members, giviig a net gain of nine membeérs. The report was prepared by J. C. Brickell In’ the absence of E. J. ‘Bowes. secretary. The report of Commodore T. Jennings stated that the racing sloop Corinthian is hauled out at StOne’s yard, North Beach, and that her sails and equip- ment are stored in the clubhouse at Tiburon. Seventeen yachts are laid uj in the lagoon. « g The report of ex-Commodore W. A. Stringer as .treasurer showed that he recelved diuring the year $3945 75 dues, $76 80 on account of the raee for the Challenge cup and $60518 money on hand; making 'a total of $492843. Of this total the club expended $2508 08 on the maintenance of _the clubhouse, 31526 68 on entertainments ' and $467 42 on preparing the.sloop Corinthian and providing her crew, making a total of $4034 76, thus leaving a substantial bal- ance in band. - Port Captain John H. Keefe, ex-Com- modores John W. Pew and T. Jennings are strongly of the opinion that. meas- ures must be taken to prevent the overcrowding that has taken place at the opening jinks for some years past. It is probable that badges of different colors will, be provided for members and thelr guests, and that men will be stationed at the entrance gate of the club grounds and alsé at the head of .one of the stairways leading up from the float, the other stalrway being boarded up.

S e The Seamen’'s Institute eleven went over to East Oakland last Saturday to play against the Pirates, by whom they were kept waiting for nearly an hour.. Though the game was greatly in favor of the sailors, each team scored one goul, so that the match ended in a tie. The. Oakland' Hornets' Saturday team played a good game on Saturday against -the Berkeley Wasps on the ground at'Seventh avenue and Califor- nis street, winning by 4 goals to 3. These were tne opening matches for the championship of the Bay Counties Baturday Association Football League. -Inasmuch us the ‘Seamen’s Institute team is made up of sallors, who fre-| quently do “not stay in port long encugh to comply with the rule which requires their names to be registered five days before they play in a match, the registration committee has con- sented to accept the Rev. Mr. Collison’s assurance that they are apprentices. Landsmen playing in the institute team must couiply with the requirements of the rule on registration. Association football is spreading. Hitchcock’'s Academy at San Rafael has twenty-seven candidates for the team, which is being coached by Chap- lains 8. H. Wingfleld, Digby and J. Col- lison. The employes of the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company ars numerous enough to form two football teams, but will use the extra men to strengthen the institute eleven. Some nets of the United States soldiers at the Presidio Reservation have asked the assistance of W. E. Owens, the well- known Independent, in organizing two clevens, : Archie Rice has accepted the presi- dency of the Bay Counties League, and is enthusiastic about the progress the game is making. It is possible the game will be taken up by Santa Clara College and by the University of the | Pactfic at San Jose. The Rev.

X Unfavorable weather has interfered with the schedule of the Scottish bowl- ers for several weeks, and there has been little or no tournament play. The green at Goldon Gate Park has dried out and the recent rains have put it in excellent shape. The pleasant weather will undoubtedly bring - out many bowlers to-day and a number of tournament matches ill be played. , J. McLachlan and G. C. Patterson still have a commanding lead, and if they bowl anything like they have they will retain their position until the tournament is over. R. Park and W. R. Eaton were a close second, but four straight defeats caused them to drop down .a few pegs. A. Craig and J. Stott are in second position, having won scven and/lost two games. J. Mc- Laren and J.

G. Harvey of the San Rafaél Golf Club. On April 25, 193, Harvey won the championship on the Happy Valley course with a score of 46, 43, 49, 49, total 187; W. P. John- son, then of the Oakland Golf Club, be- | ing second with 51, 46, 46, 46, total 159. On that occasion thére were twenty com- petitors: On May 7, 194, A. G. Harvey | again won the championship, his score | being 43, 44, 48, 47, total 182; and W. P. Johnson was again the runner-up, his score being 49, 52, 50, 43, total 194 On this occasion there were twenty-five eom- petitors. During i%35, owing to the ab- sence of its president, J. W. Byrne, in Europe, the N. C. G. A. was dormant and no competition for its championship was | held. Last year the competition for the | men’s amateur championship of the Pa- | cific Coast Golf Association was held on the San Rafael links on April 26, 27, 2% and 29, and was won by A. G. Harvey, who defeated C. E. Maud in the semi final round 3 up 1 to play, and John La son 5 up 3 to play in the final round. The competitions for the championship of !Ml Northern California Golf Association in 1903 and 1904 were held at medal play, 50 | as to permit of their being decided in gne day, but the assoclation will now return to the better practice of holding match | play competitions. i Strange reasons are sometimes offered for bad play in golf. Small things upset great golfers engaged in little putts. A well-known golfer once found himseilf un- ' able to putt properly on the course at ! Deal, on the sea coast, because | of the vessels passing up and down the | Channel. A celehrated player on the | famous North Berwick course said that | he could swear that the Bass Rock, when | it was in the line of his putt on the far | side of the hole, moved and put him off. | When Braid, the Scotch professional, in | the recent famous finternationai tour- some. was' out of form some ome sug- Golf and | OTERS —pe been active of late, which is probably due to the uncertainty of the weather.
